From Mouths of Men (Faber, 1976) is the culmination of George Ewart
Evans's studies in oral history. It rounds off and complements the
author's previous book, The Days That We Have Seen - which dealt
with 'the country' and 'land and sea' - by applying the same
methods to 'the town' and 'mining'. The result is a valuable
extension of the oral history technique, giving authentic pictures
of the lives of domestic servants, business methods at the
beginning of the century (there is a vivid contribution by Lord
Rhodes), horse-transport in a small town (Aldeburgh when it was a
fashionable watering place), clothes of the period, and the hard
life of the miners in Wales. Widely acclaimed as classics, George
Ewart Evans's pioneering books on oral history have been as avidly
read as the great diarists and chroniclers of the past, by a
succession of generations. The book is illustrated by a remarkable
series of photographs and vivid black and white line drawings.
